“Bah! As members of the Evil Path, your actions are despicable and shameless. Naturally, I won't speak of any outdated martial ethics with you. Take this!”

Lin Feng, hearing A Zhi's taunt, his eyes burned with fury, and he unhesitatingly raised his sword again, attacking A Zhi.

His figure was like lightning, and the longsword in his hand conjured a dazzling series of sword flowers. Each sword flower contained powerful spiritual energy, accompanied by a whistling wind, striking directly at A Zhi's vital points.

A Zhi saw Lin Feng attack again. Not only did he show no fear, but a strong fighting spirit surged within him, instantly piquing his interest.

He casually tossed the energy gun in his hand aside. Then, with a flick of his wrist, a brilliant and dazzling light sword instantly shot out from his hand.

“In close-quarters combat, my scores in the academy were among the top. I refuse to believe I can't handle a native boy like you.”

With that thought, he charged towards Lin Feng like a cannonball, ready to confront him head-on.

In an instant, the two exchanged several blows.

In the air, only the continuous 'clanging' of weapons colliding could be heard. Lin Feng's longsword and A Zhi's light sword constantly clashed, each collision erupting in dazzling sparks.

The light sword in A Zhi's hand was incredibly powerful. Wherever it went, the space seemed to be cut open, emitting 'hissing' sounds.

Lin Feng, pressured by the light sword's formidable power, knew that if his longsword directly clashed with it, it was highly likely to be severed instantly.

Therefore, he swiftly circulated the spiritual energy within his body, covering his sword with a fine, silken layer of spiritual energy.

Immediately, the longsword glowed brightly, spiritual energy surging, as if it had donned a sturdy armor, to resist the power of the light sword.

Although Lin Feng was slightly inferior to A Zhi in absolute strength, he had cultivated in the Yiqi Sect since childhood, mastering exquisite swordsmanship and various superior cultivation techniques.

At this moment, he displayed his learned swordsmanship to its fullest. His movements were as agile as a swallow, and his sword techniques were unpredictable. Relying on these exquisite swordsmanship and cultivation techniques, he actually stalemated with A Zhi, making it difficult to determine a victor for a time.

“As expected of an outstanding individual from a xuanhuan civilization. His methods are truly different from those people in the academy.”

Su Xia watched the battle from the side, seeing A Zhi and Lin Feng locked in a fierce struggle, and couldn't help but worry that A Zhi might suffer a mishap.

Her originally beautiful and captivating eyes instantly turned cold, revealing a hint of chill.

Immediately after, she instantly raised her energy gun, and her slender fingers pulled the trigger.

In an instant, One by one dazzling laser energy shot towards Lin Feng like meteors.

“Damn it, they called for backup!”

Lin Feng, sensing the deadly attack from behind, inwardly cursed.

While dodging the laser energy, he angrily shouted at A Zhi and Su Xia.

At this moment, he had to both deal with A Zhi's incomparably fierce close-quarters attacks and constantly guard against Su Xia's dense long-range attacks from behind. He was caught between two fires and in an extremely difficult situation.

“You already said we're members of the Evil Path. What's wrong with two against one? Haha!”

A Zhi, hearing Lin Feng's angry curses, not only felt no guilt but instead laughed triumphantly.

Taking advantage of Lin Feng's full effort to dodge the laser energy, causing his movements to briefly falter, he swiftly flew towards Lin Feng, his light sword raised high, carrying an indomitable momentum, and fiercely slashed down at Lin Feng.

Under such a powerful dual attack, Lin Feng gradually felt overwhelmed.

Several deep cuts had already been scorched onto his body by the light sword. Even though the wounds were seared, blood still slowly flowed from them, staining his clothes crimson. His breathing also became hurried and heavy, like a worn-out bellows, each breath accompanied by a 'huff, huff' sound.

Above, Zhang Yi's gaze was fixed on his direct disciple, Lin Feng, who was on the verge of defeat below, his eyes filled with anxiety and heartache.

In an instant, a vast and powerful spiritual energy erupted from his body. This spiritual energy, like a surging tsunami, raged wildly outwards with him at its center.

Zhang Yi's figure flickered, and he was about to break through the encirclement meticulously set up by Hun Tian and others, dashing towards Lin Feng's direction, attempting to support his beloved disciple.

How keen was Hun Tian? He instantly sensed Zhang Yi's intention, and his face instantly turned pale. He inwardly cursed, knowing that if a powerful Yiqi Realm Expert broke through their encirclement, then Su Xia and A Zhi would undoubtedly be in an extremely dangerous situation.

Immediately, he urgently shouted, his voice echoing in the intense battlefield above.

“Stop him! He absolutely cannot be allowed to pass!”

The surrounding Yiqi Realm Experts heard Hun Tian's command and dared not be negligent in the slightest.

Each of them looked solemn, swiftly circulated all their spiritual energy, and unleashed their power without reservation.

They glowed brightly, and spiritual energy intertwined like threads, quickly forming an incomparably solid spiritual energy barrier around Zhang Yi.

This barrier was like a thick and invisible wall, firmly blocking Zhang Yi within it.

Seeing this, a look of determination flashed in Zhang Yi's eyes.

He gritted his teeth, circulated his spiritual energy to its utmost, and desperately charged at the barrier, regardless of the consequences.

Spiritual energy clashed with the opposing barrier, erupting in deafening roars.

Powerful energy aftershocks spread outwards. Wherever they reached, the ground was torn into deep gullies, and the surrounding trees were instantly leveled.

Under Zhang Yi's desperate assault, this seemingly impregnable encirclement was ultimately successfully broken by him.

Su Xia and A Zhi, seeing this scene from afar, were greatly alarmed.

The two exchanged glances and, without hesitation, swiftly activated their battle armor to maximum power, fleeing like meteors into the distance.

“Are you alright, Lin Feng?”

Zhang Yi saw A Zhi and Su Xia flee far away and did not pursue them. Instead, he rushed to Lin Feng's side, asking with a face full of concern.

At this moment, Lin Feng's clothes were tattered, his body covered in wounds, and blood stained his clothes crimson. He looked extremely disheveled.

“Thank you, Master, for your help. It's just a pity that my disciple's strength is still too low; I still couldn't kill those two.”

Lin Feng looked self-reproachful, his eyes full of unwillingness and regret, lowering his head, not daring to look directly into his master's eyes.

At this moment, the battlefield fell into a delicate stalemate.

The Five Elements Grand Array formed by the righteous disciples contained the power of the Five Elements of heaven and earth, making it exceptionally sturdy and difficult to break in a short time.

Meanwhile, the battle between Hun Tian and Zhang Yi and others was also an intricate struggle. Their strengths were similar, so they could only entangle each other, unable to determine a victor for the time being.

Li Yang, watching from the fleet afar, clearly saw this stalemate through the light screen.

He frowned slightly, pondering inwardly.

“One shot from the main cannon should be enough to blast open this grand array, right?”
